For example:
Let us say for argument's sake the monthly rent of a one bedroom apartment is one thousand (1000) unit of monetary value, and all other costs combined are totaling eight hundred (800) unit of monetary value, the calculating formula should look like this: 1000 + 800 = 1800=> 1800 x 3 = 5400
